would send an email & it would not get there.
FAILURE OF NOTIFICATION!!! I hated that!

Now...my life is surrounded by Computers, laptops,
cellphones..etc. I even have a Blog & Etsy business..
So computers are a very important part of my
everyday life. They most likely are for you, too.

I love my laptop & all the great thing I have learned
how to do with it. I have even found lost loved ones on
my Ancestry Line with it..It's amazing & now I have
something I'm giving it...an update..with one of my
Favorite Vinyls..My Pink Owl on a Tree Branch...

Below is how it turned out..I love it!!! It makes
me smile when I look at it..each time I use my
computer...Any Comments? I'd love to know
how you like it..

I'm going to be doing a Giveaway soon & will put
a survey (on the sidebar) asking which Vinyl you
guys would like to try for...Leave any comments for
YOUR VOTE is for
1) Laptop Owl Vinyl
